St. Andrew's United Methodist Church has a LONG history in the community of De Soto, Missouri.  Its members come from all walks of life and participate actively in both this church and local events.

De Soto is located in Jefferson County, Missouri--about 40 miles south of St. Louis.  The town traces its beginning back to the arrival of the first railroad in 1857 and its livelihood has continued to be based around the railway industry.  Its long Main Street actually parallels the Union Pacific railroad tracks with the UP Shops on the other side.

St. Andrew's, however, is located on Rock Road in the residential part of the town--just a few blocks down from the intersection of Hwy. 21 and Rt. H.  It's easy to find and we hope to see you there someday!

Children's Church is at the same time.

Adult Bible Study is at 9:30.

See Calendar page for other events and times, please.

Pastor of St. Andrew's is the Rev. Darlene Payne who is pictured at right.  She has been our pastor since 2006.  She has an enthusiasm that carries over from church activities to community organizations and activities--with time left for personal concern and a compassionate pastoral agenda.

Pastor Darlene may be contacted by using the above telephone and email information.

Long-time Ministerial Assistant/Secretary at St. Andrew's is Marietta Martin.  Marietta is in the church office at least four days a week, Mon.-Thurs.  She may be contacted at the above telephone number or by email at the following address:  m_martin_standrews@sbcglobal.net.
